All are talking about selling and selling now. But,...if you believe that the offer can be 5 sen or more higher after the EGM (in order to push the plan through), it is not crazy to think of buying, but maybe at 0.25 and below. (But you need guts, like the olden time chinese soldiers having the word "Brave" in front their chest. ) BTW, all at your own risk. :) :)

golden, you're RIGHT. :) :)

No reason to sell below 0.27, just do nothing and upon delisting a repayment cheque will goes into the bank account you gave to your stockbroking house. No forms needed to fill or sign.

correction: about privatization

I think Khazanah can offer a better price, after all in normal bargaining process, you always offer the other party the minimum :). I'm OK if the offer is around 0.35-0.40 (Remember when Dr M commented after privatization around August 2013, the price went up to 0.40. :)

AhSook, thanks for the remark :D especially that early in the morning (05:49). But..... stock market always defy logic due to price manipulation by BIG boys, institutional players etc etc..
Just hope to make a "KILL" at the highest possible price. Good luck everyone here :)

If MAS has a total shares of 100, then Khazanah's 69.37%=70 shares and the others 30.63%=30 shares.
If Khazanah add 1 sen to the offer of 27 sen (ie 28 sen), Khazanah needs to pay out extra 30 sen.
But the book value of his 70 shares goes up by 70 sen. :) ie. for each additional 1 sen Khazanah offers, it gots extra 70 sen increase in it's equity book value.
So, its to the advantage of Khazanah to offer higher and also easier to push the plan through.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Resumption of trading this coming monday confirmed.

This should answer some of our doubts :)

For the privatisation to go through, an EGM needs to be called to seek shareholders’ approval. The date has not been fixed yet, but the question is: Will Khazanah get the required votes to push the plan through?

Khazanah, with a 69.37% equity, cannot vote as it is deemed the interested party. The voting will have to be done by those holding the 30.63% of shares, of which 20.4% is free float.

interesting! I though Khazanah can almost do what she wants :)

Good or bad news is up to how you interpret the situation :)

Khazanah holding close to 70% of MAS shares, so no reason to whack down the price :)

Stock market surely will be there forever, but for any company there is no guarantee, it can go burst and windup. A company (or directors) that does not value her human resources is looking at nothing and certainly not a picture that is big enough to be successful. Remember, work are done by staff and that implies the performance or success of a company.

I am an investor, I have nothing against tgoffs or RTO. What I said here (on RTO) is purely for discussion. I am a buyer and a seller, if tgoffs price is cheap enough and near my target, I will buy. I still hold tgoffs and if the price is right, I will not hesitate to sell. Its just a game!

staff always regarded as an valuable ASSET of a successful company and a big picture of a company direction simply can not exclude that asset out.

From the new company's prospective and shareholders interest, its always a rosy picture, but staff in the "being taken over" company always have very raw deal and some senior staff always got misplaced or even felt demoted per se.

RTO is always regarded as hostile business practice, so very seldom will proceed smoothly. If you had worked in a "being taken over" company, you sure will curse the company that "take over control" like hell!

If you cross over to the forum for "MAS", everyone there praise Tony like hero,and want him to be the CEO of MAS to bring MAS alive. Here, the reverse, all curse him. A world of two faces.

I remember very clearly the "most talked about IPO in town" atmosphere when AAX was going to be listed. I was lucky because I find AirAsia and AAX were of different nature in business and did not even applying. AirAsia's success is because of domestic travel of students and their parents from East to and fro West Malaysia and the pricing are attractive. However, I did enjoyed a 5 stars hotel buffet during the IPO launching :)

Being a very special government vehicle and part of the national agenda, the "Radical changes the only option" mentioned in the AGM could signify the government is going to bring this bird alive and kicking soonest possible. Just my 2 cents worth :)

MAS hovering at 0.205/0.21 with very obvious actions of big players collecting. Why? Because 0.21 is MAS's NTA.

Precisely that's what Maybank wants. Translating 0.5 cents lower in price is millions of ringgit to them :)

Simple logic. When you want to buy, you say bad after that stock so people start to sell cheap. When you want to sell, you say good things so people will start buying higher.

All financial institutions so call research write ups are to serve their own interest.

Its way too low to cut loss now, don't sell unless you urgently need cash. When a stock is too low, there will be willing buyers and a technical rebound will follow. Just have to be patience and bear the pain for the time being. My 2 cents worth of comment :)

Tiger, well done! You hit the nail right on the head!

Wow, 0.24

You want to "give me 5"? O.K, thank you :)

:) in stock market, price can be just a figure nothing correlated to its P&L, can be very and very unrealistic. Its just a rich man's game!

AAX - @ 0.71 loss making listed company, backup by AirAsia
MAS - @ 0.235 also loss making, but is a GLC, backup by a Governmet
Your choice :)

But make very sure you know when to get down this gravy train :) don't let greediness take control of you :)

You believed in yourself and took the risk to buy MAS when many say no, now don't kid yourself and get off the gravy train and award yourself with peanuts only.

Hope you got something nice and sweet from MAS :)

Thanks for the story and to those who are fathers "Happy father's day" :)

Haven't you heard the story of "Ugly ducking" turned into a graceful swan :), if you're holding MAS shares, gives it time to turn around. It will not be useless share, its a gem when everyone is chasing it higher and higher :)

Having research house announcing upgrading MAS from "sell" to "neutral" is a positive outlook for MAS. Getting back to 0.25 and beyond is not a far fetch dream. Its real and sooner than you thought :)

.... As such, we are upgrading the stock to ‘neutral’ from ‘sell’,” (RHB Research)
When a reputable research house said this, very soon the rest of the research houses will do the same and advise their clients to collect before further upgrading to "buy" from "neutral" :)

http://www.nst.com.my/node/2499

RHB Research believed MAS could potentially trade as high as 1.2x FY14 P/BV (price-to-book value), which is the median P/BV of all airlines listed globally. This could also possibly see its share price inch higher by 14 per cent to RM0.23 in the near term.

Yet another good news for MAS:
Mas partners tourism Australia

http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/business-news/294325-mas-partners-tourism-australia-with-offer-fares-to-six-cities.html

When Khazanah managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar mentioned that MAS is a core business as the national carrier and part of the national development agenda, well, he set the up trend for MAS share prices. It is not wise to go against a giant's words :)

Its duit Raya from Big Daddy Khazanah, where got national airline share at pisang goreng price !!

Woow, new technique to cover up the exact buy sell queue. Don't play play uh :)

Oh boy, oh boy, let rock and roll :)

Friends, time to re-think a new target price. Don't simply sell when the stock is moving with positive news :)

Wooo, real sign of force in display, in spite second, 0.18 all finished up !!

will break 0.18 barrier any moment now ....

Time to move on after a week of consolidation and collection, syndicate players at play now :)

An encouraging piece of news for MAS:-

"However, from the national viewpoint, the answer to this is less obvious as MAS, like all carriers, brings other economic impacts and intangibles to the country as in terms of connectivity and bringing the world to our shores." - See more at:
